Is PROM Coin Safe? What Can and Cannot Be Verified About Prom

Compiled 12 August 2026. Every statement below is either something we read from a primary source and can name, or an explicit note that it is not published.

This page sets out what is and is not verifiable about Prom (PROM) as of 12 August 2026. It does not accuse anyone of fraud and it does not vouch for the project. Two questions bring most people here — whether the token is halal, and whether it is being delisted — and both are addressed below with what the record actually shows. The rest of the page is a checklist you can run yourself, because on a token this size the only durable answer is the one you verify. If you have arrived without knowing what PROM is at all, our explainer on what Prom (PROM) is covers the contract, the network and the venues first.

What can be verified

The contract's source code is published. The Ethereum token at 0xfc82bb4ba86045af6f327323a46e80412b91b27d has verified source on a public block explorer, verified in May 2019 and compiled with Solidity 0.4.25. The code you can read is the code that runs.

It is not a proxy contract. There is no separate implementation address that can be swapped underneath the token, and the source contains no delegatecall and no self-destruct. Whatever the contract does today, it will still do tomorrow.

The supply cannot be increased by the contract. The whole supply is created once, in the constructor, and sent to the deploying address. There is no mint function. Reading the live contract on 12 August 2026 returned a total supply identical to that original figure, which means none has been created since deployment.

There is no admin switch. The source has no owner role, no pause function, no address blocklist and no transfer fee or tax. Nobody can freeze a balance, block an address or take a cut of a transfer using this contract.

Exchange listings are real and checkable. Binance lists PROM/USDT on spot and a USD-margined PROM perpetual; MEXC runs a PROM perpetual created in December 2023; Upbit added KRW and USDT markets on 12 August 2026 and names the same Ethereum contract address in its own deposit notice; WEEX runs a PROM/USDT perpetual. Each of these was read from the exchange's own interface, not from an aggregator.

The Prom network exists and runs. Querying its published endpoint returned chain ID 227 — matching the documentation — and a block height above 9.2 million with the latest block timestamped within seconds of real time.

What is not established

These are findings too. Each one is a place where we looked and did not find, and writing them down is what stops the gap being filled with a guess.

• No audit report. The project's documentation names a security partner, Bailsec, and describes what that firm does. It names no specific audit of Prom, gives no date, states no outcome and links no report. We are not saying the project is unaudited; we are saying no dated audit report is published at the page we checked.
• The team is not named. No page in the documentation index we read identifies the people behind the project, and we found no primary source that does. That is a statement about the documentation, not a claim that the team is anonymous.
• Supply figures do not reconcile. The Ethereum contract reports 20,000,000 tokens and the BNB Smart Chain contract reports 20,000,000. CoinGecko listed total supply as 19,250,000 and circulating supply as 18,250,000 on the same day. No source explains the difference.
• The relationship between the two contracts is not published. A token with the same symbol exists on BNB Smart Chain. Whether it is a bridged representation, a mirror or an independent issue is not stated anywhere we found.
• The large holders are unlabelled. On 12 August 2026 the biggest address held about 22% of the Ethereum supply and the top four held about 53%, across roughly 2,800 to 2,900 addresses. Nothing published says which of those are exchange custody wallets, market-maker inventory, team allocations or individuals. On a token listed across a dozen centralised exchanges, large unlabelled balances are commonly exchange custody — but that is a general pattern, not a finding about these specific addresses.
• No lock or vesting schedule is published in the documentation. The documentation's own page index lists seventeen pages and none of them covers tokenomics, distribution, vesting or unlocks, and the token page carries no schedule. That is a statement about what is published — it is not a claim that no lock exists, and not a claim that one does.
• The network's launch date is inconsistent across sources. The chain's genesis block is timestamped 29 October 2024; Upbit's listing notice describes a March 2025 launch. Neither is presented here as the date.

"Is PROM halal?" — what can honestly be said

This is one of the most common searches attached to this token, and it deserves a straight answer about what kind of question it is. This page does not issue a religious ruling. That is a matter for a qualified scholar, and the same asset is assessed differently by different scholars and different screening bodies.

What a page like this can usefully do is supply the facts such assessments generally examine, so that you can take accurate information to someone qualified to rule on it rather than a headline. On the record as of 12 August 2026: PROM is the gas and governance token of a general-purpose smart-contract network, not an interest-bearing instrument by construction; the token contract itself pays no yield and contains no lending or interest logic; the documentation describes staking-adjacent participation through running a node, without publishing the mechanics. What the network is ultimately used for — including whether applications built on it involve interest, gambling or other activity a screening body would exclude — is not something a token contract determines and not something we can verify.

Separately, and often the more decisive point in practice: leveraged and margined trading raises questions distinct from holding the asset, and those are usually assessed differently again. If the halal question is why you are here, take these facts to a scholar rather than to a search-result summary.

"Is PROM being delisted?" — what the record shows today

A delisting query sits persistently in the search suggestions for this token across several markets, which is usually a sign that a delisting happened somewhere at some point, or that a scare circulated. Here is what we can and cannot say.

As of 12 August 2026, reading each exchange's own interface: Binance reported the PROM/USDT spot pair and the PROM perpetual both in trading status; MEXC's PROM perpetual was in a normal trading state; Upbit had just added KRW and USDT markets; WEEX's PROM perpetual was listed among its contracts. We did not find a current delisting notice on any of these venues. We also cannot prove a negative — we checked market status, not every historical announcement on every exchange.

The reliable method is the boring one, and it takes two minutes: go to the exchange's own announcements page and search the ticker. Exchanges publish delisting and monitoring-tag notices there, with dates, well before the pair stops trading. A social-media claim that a coin is "getting delisted" that cannot be traced to a notice on the exchange's own site is not evidence of anything.

Risk factors that apply to this token

Ownership concentration. A top-four share above half of supply means a small number of decisions can move the market, regardless of who holds those addresses. This is a structural fact about the distribution, not an allegation about anybody's intentions.

Thin liquidity relative to attention. On 12 August 2026 PROM traded around 40 times the previous day's volume. Volume that appears in a day can leave in a day, and exit liquidity is what determines whether a position can be closed at the price on the screen. Our account of what happened on 12 August 2026 breaks that day down with the figures and their timestamps.

Volatility with a long memory. This token's record high was set in April 2021 and is many multiples of its August 2026 range. A long price history is not a floor and not a target; it is evidence that the asset has previously moved by orders of magnitude in both directions.

Two contracts, one ticker. With deployments on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain and a documented relationship between them that is not published, the practical hazard is sending tokens on the wrong network. Upbit supports Ethereum only for PROM and says so in its notice; a deposit on the other network is a support ticket at best.

Name collision. A separate token trading as PROMPT occupies much of the same search space, and the contract's own on-chain name is still Token Prometeus Network. Verify by contract address, never by ticker or name.

Leverage. Perpetual contracts on this token exist with maximum leverage up to 100× on at least one venue. High leverage on a thin, fast-moving market is the shortest available path to a liquidated position.

How to check all of this yourself, in about ten minutes

• Confirm the contract. Open a block explorer and search 0xfc82bb4ba86045af6f327323a46e80412b91b27d. Confirm the symbol reads PROM and that the contract page shows a verified source tab. If a website or a message gives you a different address for "PROM", that difference is the whole story.
• Read the code for admin powers. On the verified source tab, use your browser's find function for mint, pause, blacklist, owner and fee. Absence of all five is what "no admin switch" means in practice. This works on any token, not just this one.
• Look at the holder list. The explorer's holders tab shows the distribution. Note the top ten percentages and check whether the explorer has labelled any of them — labelled exchange wallets change the reading of concentration entirely.
• Check the burn address. Look for 0x…dead in the holder list. On 12 August 2026 it held 750,000 PROM, about 3.75% of supply — tokens sent to an address nobody can spend from.
• Verify a listing at the source. Do not take a listing from an aggregator or a screenshot. Open the exchange's own market page or announcements page and find the pair.
• Query the network. If you want to confirm the chain is alive rather than a claim in a document, add chain ID 227 to a wallet using the RPC endpoint in the project's documentation and check that a block explorer shows recent blocks.

Questions people actually ask

Is PROM a safe investment? Not a question this page will answer, and not one anyone can answer for you. What it can tell you is that the contract's source is published and has no admin functions, that the team is not named in the documentation, that no dated audit report is published, and that ownership is concentrated. Those are the inputs; the judgement is yours.

Can the developers mint more PROM? Not with this contract. It has no mint function, and the live total supply still equals the amount created at deployment.

Why do search results call it "Prometeus"? That is the contract's on-chain name and the slug several aggregators still use. Prom is the current branding.

What is the single biggest risk here? On the published evidence, concentration combined with liquidity that arrived in a day. Neither is a claim about anyone's conduct; both are structural, and both are visible to anyone who looks.

If you trade it, trade it deliberately

WEEX lists a PROM/USDT perpetual futures contract, which can be opened long or short without holding the token — and which, like every leveraged product, can lose more than a spot position would in the same move. Contract specifications for this pair differ from the majors on the same venue, including its funding schedule, so read the current contract details on the WEEX futures markets page before opening anything. Position sizing on a token with this distribution profile is not a detail.
